On street parking
 

We own a home in TV at the end of a dead end street. The road in front of our home is not part of a cul de sac. Our home faces the street. The front of our house faces the side of the across the street neighbor's house. Is he allowed to park his RV there? It isnt pleasant to look at this when we are sitting on our front patio. I wouldnt even think it would be allowed. Any input on Village rules would be appreciated. TYIA.

Call Community Standards in the morning for correct info. I do not think RVs are allowed on streets for longer than 3 days to load or empty.

And yet: if it is not in a villa neighborhood or Marion County, the roads are public to all and The Villages has no jurisdiction.

I’m in Sumter and the 3 day rule applies. Perhaps in the bylaws or perhaps just respectful neighbors ?

I'm in a villa neighborhood. The Villages ACC visited our neighborhood and said that our streets are county streets, anyone can park there. I believe the "3 day rule" for RVs also applies, but that said, it's still a county road. I don't think The Villages can actually enforce any street parking rules.

Check with ARC. I feel for your situation.

Yep

Just to be clear, in Sumter County on public roads The Villages' made 3 day rule has no legal significance. If you live in Sumter and are concerned about parking on the public streets, check with the county.

There are a "rules" in the Village covenants that are totally unenforceable.

Happy Easter

I’m not concerned.

Our deed restrictions specifically state that our own vehicles are to be parked in our own driveways.

Maybe if you park your car in front of his house for a few days he will get the hint. :MOJE_whot:

I would go talk to the owner ask to store it elsewhere , the consequences for not being cooperative might not be good.lol

If you're in a patio villa, is the RV so wide that an emergency vehicle would be unable to get to your house? Even if on street parking is allowed emergency vehicles have to be able to get through to you.

unless they're constantly taking off on the weekends (which currently is doubtful) they're just being cheap

there are plenty of places one can store an RV if they wanted to....he knows leaving it there is not the accepted norm

too bad you have a neighbor that believes it's all about him....had one of those folks across the street from me when we lived up north (we too were at the end of a 'dead end' street

3: days you can park an RV only for loading and unloading ,cleaning etc..call sherrif Dept or village watch

Villa roads are not maintained by the county, so maybe county laws don’t apply. Call Community Watch and ask.

I don’t blame you for being mad. RVs are such an eyesore. I would research it and call whoever I could to see what the rule is and get it removed. If there are no rules, anyone could squat anywhere they wanted.

Why don't you just walk across the street and in a friendly manner bring up the subject with your neighbor that parks the RV there. That's the way we always handle stuff, face-to-face, man-to-man, if there's an issue discuss it.

We had the same issue and also lived at end of a street. We talked to the owner of the vehicle and it was moved. Probably easiest way to fix the problem.

Take your car park end of your driveway so no one will be able to get by.
Police will come you'll find out who's in violation..You won't have to confront your neighbor Simple

If it a county street (e.g. Sumter), the county police would make the decision if it is a health and safety issue. E.g. - too restrictive to let an ambulance or fire truck to get by. A while ago there was issue like this in Polo Ridge. Community watch assessed the situation and informed the owner that the vehicle created a safety issue and if they did not relocate it, Sumter county would get involved and most likely make the owner move the vehicle. The owner moved the vehicle. If not, Sumter could be notified and it would have proceeded from there.

Why dont you go over and ask the neighbor in question?

Instead of posting this passive aggressive post you should be a good neighbor and go over and introduce yourself ask him and let him know you would prefer the motor home not be there

I am sure there are rules and he either has a permit to do so or doesn’t.

If no permit and he is belligerent then politely ask excuse yourself and go to one of the visitor centers and ask to whom you should speak

This is just a common way to treat people. Did you really need to post this? Motor home? Junk car? Trash? Too many cars!!
It is all the same.

What is a "visitor center"? Do you even live here?

Almost positive you are correct!

I’m thinking you might not live here. We do not have parking permits nor do we have visitor centers.

We had asked this question a few years ago about parking in our designer housing neighborhood. There IS a time limit on driveway parking, but NOT on the street.

it will never work, makes too much sense, hehe

Could someone cut a paste deed restrictions that address parking
End it one and for all...Look dog poop while your at it..Kill 2 birds with one stone

RV
 

I'm having trouble picturing the neighbors house not facing the street. Dead end implies that the only way out is the only way in. Is the RV parked in a driveway that runs the side of the house, on the street, in an area that might be Villages or community property or ? Although none of my business I am curious.
Just a thought but if RV is parked on his lawn RV is lawn art.

Here you go

I like that, but I highly doubt it is actually enforceable.

Right. Especially if you are in a Villa. No room to park on the street. Visitors should park in the visitor parking lot No room for emergency vehicles to drive through.

Rv parking..
 

RV aren’t allowed to park more than 3 days in any street..It is against SAFETY REGULATIONS..Safety Vehicles sure as FIRE ,Police,Sanitation ETC.

The streets in the Villages are county roads, therefore you can park your vehicles for an indefinite amount of time, as long as it is legally parked. Your deed restriction states that you can park your RV in your driveway for no more than 72 hours.

Clear as mud

Who monitors the start clock ?

should be a limit to amt of post per person per day...especially the ones with nothing to say

I have found that getting to know your neighbor ia far more pleasant than being a coward and seeking others to do your dasterdly deeds. TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR

And I have found that talking to a neighbor on a less than pleasant subject is a poor idea. I tried that last year and we’re still not speaking. There is a Community Standards office that handles this sort of thing.
